The men of UUCSR hold relaxed, informal, and enjoyable gatherings several times a year where men of the congregation can deepen relationships, make new friends, and explore issues common to men. No experience is necessary. For many men, these gatherings are the first time they have ever attended a “men’s retreat.” One does not need to be in a men’s group to attend a retreat. All men who are members, pledging friends, or guests of the congregation are welcome.

Weekend Retreats Return at Black Mountain Retreat Center ! – The “annual” Men’s Retreat will happen on Easter weekend, Friday evening, April 7 through Sunday afternoon, April 9, 2023, at the Black Mountain Retreat Center, a one-hour drive from Santa Rosa west of Cazadero.  Cost is $160 per person (includes 6 meals), and scholarships are available.  Reserve your place by bringing your checkbook to the Men’s Retreat signup table outside the sanctuary after Sunday service on March 12th, March 19th, and March 26th.

Half-day Retreat Potlucks – A few times a year, ten to thirty men gather at UUCSR to enjoy the fellowship of men, make new friends, reconnect, share what’s happening in our lives, share what comes to mind, and share a meal together.
